How much do you read per day?

[slickfazzer]

I'd like to set aside say 20 minutes a day.

Need to set a goal, otherwise I get sidetracked wasting that 20 minutes scrolling through
tweetdeck or the latest BMR threads.

I read Mathew and Isiah about 6-8 hours per day.

I need to focus on the scriptures more Illini.

books? 0 minutes in life. I read the forum posts. I read twitter posts

does that count?

it does, but for me personally I get sidetracked and sometimes feel like time is wasted sifting
through all the gibberish that is online.

Anything specific reading material you take in?

Try to read in bed every night unless I’m out late

to be honest and it's probably an age thing and social media thing......

I can't focus on books. I can read 10 pages and have no idea what's going on. I'm reading the words but focusing my mind on something else and then i forget everything I just read

Gamblers do not read, they watch tv mainly sports that is why they are stupid and make poor choices

Educated people read and do not watch much tv that is why they are successful

Mr. Bobby, you shouldn't be reading and driving for Uber at the same time.
You can only do that in a Tesla.

Should read an hour a day it is how knowledge is born. Anytime someone asks you a question that they think you are knowledgeable in after giving them your answer always tell them smarter people on the subject are almost always available for free at the public library.

Want to read a good book and learn some new words?

Try The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Not a long read (~150 pages). It's roughly the story that Apocalypse Now was based on minus the war. Its about a guy in the 1800s assigned by his trading company to go and seek out a the manager of a trading post who has become a "psycho" god to the locals that he trades with and leads. Takes place deep in the African jungle.

The author, J. Conrad had an incredible vocabulary. Every now and then I have to stop to look up some of the words he's using. Have a dictionary or thesaurus close by.

Reading for your brain is like the gym for your muscles, very important.
